Male Female
I am a postal worker, and I try to go very early, but last summer I was supposed to go to a birthday party with my friends. We planned to go to the park, but I overslept and forgot that it was my best friend's birthday. At that time, I couldn't find my friends because after the party, they went to the park and karaoke, but I couldn't find the location. I felt bad and worried, but eventually, I found my friends, apologized, and gave my presents. We spent time together. That day, I understood that I cannot be late because it creates bad feelings and emotions, not only for me but also for my friends who are waiting for me. I try not to be late in the future.
